The Licker Family

It's always a treat to work with this sweet family. I first met Abby when she was a roll-y little six month old and now she's a proud big sister! Baby Emily's newborn shoot got postponed due to Covid, but I kind of love the fact that she is the same age as her big sister when I captured her first photos. And you just can't beat the bright eyed gummy smiles of a six month old!

Amy and Justin, Thank you again for trusting me to capturing your growing family. Enjoy!

Baby Porter

It was such a pleasure to meet the Atkinson Family and their sweet babies! Little Prince Porter is so lucky to have two adoring big sisters to spoil him with snuggles. I don't know what it is about the third babies, but I just love how go with the flow they are! Porter couldn't have been sweeter or more cooperative to work with.

Mary and John Porter, I'm so glad you won this session through the Costa Rica Mission Moms auction. It was a pleasure meeting you and capturing such an exciting time for your family. Enjoy!

Baby Liam

It was such a treat to get back out and see some of the families I was missing during quarantine. Baby Liam made his grand entrance during a challenging time of uncertainty, yet walking through the doors of the Fisher home, all was right with the world! The love and excitement oozing out of Liam's two goofy big brothers was contagious and a breath of fresh air for me! I was so grateful to be able to capture this time for them, and also remember how much I love this job :)

Lauren and Andrew, congrats on a beautiful new home, and a perfect baby boy!

Kathryn + Alex

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to capture this beautiful couple during their engagement. Kathryn came to me looking for some images that reflect all aspects of their relationship- from their playful and light hearted sides to their softer and more intimate connection. Alex could not have been more of a gentleman, going along with any and all of the prompts I gave him... anything for his beautiful bride! Despite being engaged at a time when things are uncertain and unconventional, it is clear that the love between these two is strong, steady and unwavering.

Kathryn and Alex, thank you for trusting me to capture such an exciting time in your lives

Madden Family

To say it felt good to see my families again after this unexpected pause on all things normal is an understatement! Getting back out there and capturing the joy in families and children was literally a breath of fresh air. We have been so blessed by beautiful weather this spring and the day I met up with the Madden Family was no exception. Despite the chaos around us these days, it was truly therapeutic for me to hone in on these sweet kids and the love between them and their parents. Such a good reminder to be grateful for what is right in front of us every day.

Ellen and Jim, thank you for trusting me to capture your beautiful family and the vibrant personalities of your sweet babies. Enjoy!

Baby Riley

Like many of us, I've been going through a rollercoaster of emotions lately, dealing with the news, homeschooling, and feelings of isolation. Looking at these images, I am brought back to the most pure and essential emotion: love. A love that you never knew existed until tiny fingers gripped onto your pinky, or a shy smile curved from little lips. A love that will grow deeper every day between two sisters. This is what it's all about.

Lacey and Jonathan, for many reasons this time in your lives may feel like a blur looking back. I'm so glad we documented this sweet girl and the family that surrounds her with so much love every day.

Miles is ONE!

I seriously love this family- they were meant for photos! Besides being ridiculously beautiful, these kids have stamina like I've never seen. Just when I thought Miles was completely done with me, he would rally for another awesome pose and flash that handsome smile. I've loved every session with this family since we started 4 years ago.

Ashli and Nick- you guys make some beautiful babies. Go for 3!! Thank you for trusting me to capture Sophie and Miles' first years. Enjoy!

Baby Olivia

I've said it before but it never gets old. One of my favorite things to witness in a family is when an only child becomes a big brother or sister. There is always an element of unpredictability mixing a quiet, sleepy baby with it's counterpart: a non-stop excitable toddler! But the instant love and bond that exists between siblings is always there. Baby Olivia was so patient and relaxed through the whole session. Seriously, a dream baby!

Katie and Robert, thank you for inviting me back to your home to capture this exciting new phase for your family. You are making it look too easy!!
